Protests in Mexico: general strike called on the Day of the Revolution - Vox
A general strike and protests coincide with Mexico's Revolution Day
Mexican activists planned the general strike and protests to coincide with Mexico's Revolution Day, the anniversary of the Mexican revolution. It is difficult to know what effect the strike will have on the country. However, according to reports on Twitter and the Telesur TV station, there's a plan for the strike to shut down Benito Juarez International Airport in Mexico City, which is the second-largest airport in Latin America.
The largest protests are expected to take place in Mexico City, the nation's capital, but there will also be events in other cities in Mexico and the US.
